The golf tournament will raise funds for the DC College Access Program (DC-CAP), a privately funded non-profit that supports DC public and public charter high school students and college students who might otherwise not have the opportunity to receive a college education. DC-CAP provides mentoring, counseling, academic advising, and financial assistance to these deserving students.

Today, DC-CAP is working with 18,000 DC public and public charter high school students and approximately 6,800 college students helping them to realize their college and life goals. Your participation at this tournament is important and contributes to making college more accessible to DC public and public charter school students.
